Youth Leadership Forum

July 22nd, 2010 by flanews

A hundred high school students from all across the state got to spend the day in Tallahassee learning about their state government.

The Youth Leadership Forum helps students with mental and physical disabilities learn networking and leadership skills. The forum taught Leondra Foster, who graduated from the program and now helps teach, how to be an advocate for herself and others.

“You can’t really progress in live without knowing how to advocate yourself, that you always have to ask for what you need,” said Leondra.

The Able Trust sponsors the Youth Leadership Forum. The Able Trust is a nonprofit organization committed to fair employment opportunities for Floridians with disabilities.
